Some Orcs Just Because

I am currently throroughly invested in the middle earth SBG and I love it. The more I know about it the more I want to play it and work on cool things for it. I got me the starterset and started painting the Morannon orcs. I created a captain for them out of some of the models I didn't use and since it has been a while that I posted something here I figured I'd just share this quick snap of him that I took.

What Can Men Do....

Hey there,

I have another update for you on the Middle Earth SBG force.

First off some of the first Uruk Hai Warriors. These are the second hand miniatures from the first post.
The Uruk Hai captain.

 The first 6 finished.

I have also been collecting some more miniatures and finished the first few.

Lurtz and some of his friends. I think the bulk of my army will be these guys simply because I love the models so much.

Great Orcs WIP

I wanted to post a quick WIP picture of the first 2 uruks I finished. Before I started I looked some reference material and I found this art that is from the Shadow of Mordor game I believe.

These are the first two I painted as a test. 

So It Begins

I have been long considering diving into the world of Middle Earth. the world is so well established and so rich it offers itself for a lot of cool narratives. I was also very inspired by the pictures created by the hobbyist known as HVM. If you don't know him, look him up on facebook.

I bought some Uruk Hai miniatures on Ebay to make a start with painting something before I dive deep into the rules. I'd like to just paint something. In general I like to just make the estetics count for more than the rule efficiency

These are the miniatures I managed to salvage from my first Ebay order. 5 uruks with sword and board, 5 with pikes and one Uruk captain.

I will be going for a non traditional colour scheme for them. I rather have them look like other great orcs than the ones hailing from Isengard.

And So It Begins.
